Prices

Every trainee is different and therefore, because we tailor our courses to the trainee, each DAS or PAS course is different.

​

We prefer the customer centric approach as opposed to having rigid 3, 5, or 7 day courses. It makes the course much more tailored to the individual's training needs and the cost much more affordable. After all, why pay for training or bike hire you may not need?

​

We believe our approach results in much more efficient and affordable motorcycle training. For this reason it is not possible for us to list standard prices, as we don't have them!
